The authors report a challenging case of a brain metastasis located in the motor cortex, which was not responsive to radiosurgery. Use of a novel technique, magnetic resonance-guided laser-induced thermotherapy (MRgLITT), resulted in the complete obliteration of the lesion without adverse effects or evidence of tumor recurrence at follow-up. This case illustrates that MRgLITT may provide a viable alternative for patients with brain metastases refractory to radiosurgery or in deep locations, where both stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and surgical resection may be ineffective.
作者报告了一例位于运动皮层的脑转移瘤的具有挑战性的病例，该病例对放射外科治疗无反应。使用一种新技术，磁共振引导激光诱导热疗（MRgLITT），导致病变完全消失，随访时无不良反应或肿瘤复发迹象。该病例表明，对于放射外科治疗难治或位于深部的脑转移瘤患者，MRgLITT可能是一种可行的替代方案，在这些情况下，立体定向放射外科（SRS）和手术切除可能均无效。
